OK, so we're at least second generation OT now, but... it's fun. =:^) 1) You can see what pan does with rewrapping when auto-wrap is on and I don't manually rewrap... obviously not perfect. (I'd normally either turn wrapping off for that or rewrap it manually, but since it came up...) 2) Had you heard, CDE has been open-sourced now! =:^) Rather late, but they did open-source it, announcement maybe a month ago. (I switched from MS when they crossed the line I couldn't/wouldn't cross with eXPrivacy, tho I'd tried Linux before that, but that was after CDE, so kde2's CDE color theme was about the closest I got to CDE, personally.) 3) Back on topic, KDE of course has a send-to menu, which can AFAIK be modified via modifying the appropriate *.desktop service entries, but that's for sending files, not arbitrary text. 4) Of course for text, there's klipper and its config. Set it up correctly, and you get a popup when either selected (X-style-clipboard) or copied (MS-style clipboard) text matches a configurable regex. The popup can then have one or more selectable actions associated with it. I use that quite a bit here, having quite a number of customized regexes and associated actions. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
